Saves time, money, and guesswork!

What a gem of a book. Nadine Haobsh has created the go-to bible for all things beauty. She covers everything- from salon etiquette, to what products to splurge on, and best of all, what items to save money on and buy at the drugstore. Every single item I have purchased that she has recommended has not disappointed me. Anyone honest enough to say that a $6 bottle of drugstore brand fashwash is better than the ones in high department stores is a hero in my book.
Before I read this book I spent over $125 in foundation, concealor, and powder. I had red, irritated acne-prone skin. Now that I am following her product advice, I am spending only $70, and my skin is the best it has ever been. Also, I was spending $35 a bottle for a salon brand of intensive conditioner. She recommended Aussie 3 Minute Deep, which only cost me $3! And best of all, it works even better!
My only complaint is that there is no sequel (yet) to this excellent book, as there are a few products she recommends that are now discontinued. But do not worry; she writes that if items are discontinued, what alternative to look for in clear detail so that you don't wander stores unsure if your choice is a match.
Finally, a book that gives you real beauty advice, saving you time, money, and puts the fun back into beauty. I have been introduced to wonderful new products, and have had so much fun using them while saving myself money. I could not recommend it more highly. This book is worth its weight in gold.
Down to earth beauty advice for today's busy women!

I just received this book and I am flying through it! It's very informative, and entertaining as well! The first thing I did was run out to Target and purchased some L'Oreal Elnett hairspray. I am glad it is now available in the US. The advice is fantastic. I love the hairspray! I am also a HUGE fan of Bare Escentuals. I can't wait to finish the book, and I look forward to future books! I will continue to read the book, use it as a reference, and try the recommended products to look the best that I can.
Super fun to read!!

This is by far the most fun beauty book I've ever read. It gives you great beauty advice. It's written very well that it keeps you wanting to read and read! It's hard for me to finish reading books but this one was easy, entertaining and I actually finished reading it, something I don't do with most books. It has some funny remarks that made me laugh as well, which made reading it that much easier. If you're a beauty addict this book is a must read, the advice is so helpful!

Changed My Attitude

This book was amazing and I highly recommend it for all the girls out there who feel like they were out of the room when the "How To Be A Girl" Book was handed out to all the other girls. I never wore makeup and was honestly afraid of it before reading this book. How do you know what to wear, what colors work for you, and dear God, how do you apply it? Being to shy to ask my friends, because a 30 year old really should know these things, I foud my answers in Nadine's book after a beauty expert friend of mine mentioned it on her blog. What a difference! I am no longer terrified of going into Sephora, wear makeup daily and actually feel naked without it on, and feel so girly! It boosted my confidence because I tried new products that have helped my acne and made my skin shine! Overall, I've started taking care of myself, inspired by Nadine's book and pointed in the right direction by her. She gave me the tools I needed to take the initial steps towards beauty. Thanks Nadine!!!
wonderful comprehensive of everything regarding beauty

I purchased this book because I was planning on doing my own wedding make-up, and though I thought I was well-versed an make-up application, etc., it turns out I didn't even know what I didn't know! Beauty confidential is chock-full of useful and time-saving tips, as well as information on what you should splurge on and what you can buy on the cheap. It is also entertaining and adorable. Nadine, herself, is also very willing to answer any personal beauty questions that you may have.
